Last week the polico stopped her "under-water dance" for a day and It hoomed the act for this week. This week the swimmer took off a little more clothes for the dance before going into the tank. Tickets ought to sell at advanced prices If Bhe stays another week. The tank tricks make her act a winner. The comedy hoxing turn of the two little boys and some liand-to-hand stunts In the Four Graham.s a( t put them over In good shape. Perry and KUlott have some capital cross-Mre comedy talk and a couple of catchy songs which forms a pleasing turn. Graham and Uren- dell pleased with talking and singing and .lonathan did well with his sketching and gags. "The Wrong Hoad to Happiness" was the feature picture. It certainly was a tough lourney for Jane, who marrie<l the wrong fellow and finished up hy doing a "Jimmy Hice" over the rocks to death. BOSTON By J. GOOLTZ. 80 Summer Street. KKITH'S (Harry E.

Wilmot, who appeared 111 Moseph and His Brethren" and "The Danuhter of Heaven" the past season, is now doing stunts from the pulpit. He has quit the footlights and accepted the call as pastor of the Third Unlversallst church of West Somervllle, near Boston. He is a Harvard graduate. Since 1910 he received a divinity degree, but was attracted to the stage. Last season he appeared as the royal astrologer In "The Daughter of Heaven," at the Century theatre in New York. Recently he notified the Unlversallst authorities that he wished to enter the ministry and the call came as a result. Musical shows will have a chance at the HolUs Street theatre next season. "The Sun- shine Girl" will open the season. The I'ark theatre will close Saturday night to reopen In the fall with H. B, Warner in "The Ghost Breaker." Joseph F.

The alr- dome should prove a winner, for it is in a good location. Monte Wolf and Charlie O'Donnell, two of the "Three Rascals." here over Sunday, have .lust returned from England, where they made good and whence they return in the fall. They are well known here and were the stars at the Old Vienna last summer. Wolf showed nerve by "sporting" a dinky little English suit that looked like it came from the provinces. He was kidded from one end of the Walk to the other. To their credit, however, it should he noted that the lads have not, as yet, af- fected an English accent. NEW OELBANS Br O. M. SAMUEL..
